Bar Cento

1948 W. 25th St. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

216-274-1010

Italian

Channeling the spirit of a European wine bar, this funky little spot in Ohio City makes a tasty backdrop for a small but tempting menu of thin-crusted pizzas, house-cured meats, handmade pastas, and some of the best twice-fried, Belgian-style fries you'll ever find on a Cleveland tabletop. To go with, the annotated wine list offers 100 selections, while next door's Bier Markt provides dozens of imported brews.
Cowell & Hubbard

1305 Euclid Ave. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

216-479-0555

Destinations, European/Mediterranean

This being Zack Bruell's fifth Cleveland restaurant, diners now know they can expect high-caliber service, an interior pulled from the pages of Architectural Digest, and a menu the size of Atlas Shrugged. What Bruell calls "modern French-American" might just as well be billed New Mediterranean, with nods to Morocco, France and Italy. In the end, the food is characteristically Bruellian: tidy stacks of meat and veg resting in an opulent sauce, diamond-cut by the acidity of lemon.
4th Street Bar & Grill

402 Euclid Ave. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

216-298-4070

American

Noisy and fun-loving, this 100-seat restaurant is part of the Corner Alley complex, a high-energy hangout featuring 16 lanes of bowling and a fashionable martini bar. With cheese here, bacon there, and deep-fried goodness nearly everywhere, spa cuisine this is not. But thanks to zesty flavors and often-imaginative preparation, the offerings still beat the standard bowling-alley lineup by a long shot.

Pub Fare/Breweries, Pubs/Wine & Martini Bars, Staff Pick

Cobblestone roads lead to the best beers around. The tasting room provides a bird's-eye view of the shiny steel tanks and antique bar that Eliot Ness once bellied up to. The cellar bar is less bright, but even more atmospheric.

216-241-4141

American

Cops, lawyers, secretaries, hipsters, football fans, and neighborhood residents — sooner or later, everyone ends up at Karl’s, for the good food, well-stocked bar, and unpretentious vibe.

Noodlecat

Fun and funky, downtown's only Japanese-style ramen house offers an array of noodle bowls ranging from the traditional to the contemporary. Creative sides and add-ons allow slurpers to customize their bowls in almost endless ways, while a tight selection of cold sake, beer, wine, and creative cocktails adds to the merriment.
Nova Bar & Grill

1313 West Sixth St. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

216-313-9010

South of the Border

Like any good Argentinean eatery, this one offers a hearty platter of expertly grilled meats. The gaucho-sized meal consists of grilled skirt steak, flanken-cut short ribs, chicken breast, and two types of sausage. In the other-than-beef department, there are also pounded, breaded, and fried Milanese-style dishes, sautéed fish, and a number of pizzas. Start with the beef empañadas. Expect a Warehouse District-appropriate atmosphere that is equal parts lounge and restaurant.
Pura Vida

170 Euclid Ave. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

216-987-0100

American, Contemporary, Breakfast

Veteran chef Brandt Evans' Public Square restaurant is a breath of fresh air for downtowners, with a spare decor, an urbane vibe, and rustically refined menus built from local, sustainable ingredients. A stickler for details, Evans pays equal attention to every element of a dish. He does, however, leave room for whimsy, as evidenced by the occasional odd ingredient and deconstructed arrangement. Full bar.

1148 Main Ave. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

216-861-6900

American, Menu

Sixth City Sailors Club

668 Euclid Ave. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

216-938-7392

American

Riding high from the success of two popular food trucks — not to mention a Food Network reality show appearance — Chris Hodgson landed his first bricks-and-mortar restaurant. Teaming up with the experienced Scott Kuhn, Hodge delivers exciting, approachable dishes with broad appeal. Who can resist lobster corn dogs, flaky goat-cheese tarts, and light-as-air gnudi? For the mains, dig into a pasta version of French onion soup, pitch-perfect duck breast, and luxurious braised lamb shank.
The South Side

2207 W. 11th St. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

216-937-2288

American

The South Side doesn’t quite overload all the senses, but it stimulates them with exposed brick walls, a winding granite bar, local artwork that changes monthly, and four big plasma screens equipped with surround sound. After the kitchen closes, an upscale-casual crowd gather in the bar.
Wilbert's

812 Huron Rd. E. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

216-902-4663

American, Menu

Wilbert’s mixes local acts with touring artists trying to get a toehold in town. Blues, rock, folk, indie, reggae, and jam bands all mingle here, so you’re never quite sure what you’ll hear.
Zócalo Mexican Grill & Tequileria

2071 E. 4th St. Downtown/Flats/Warehouse District

216-781-0420

Mexican, Menu

Casual, comfortable, and beautifully appointed, this Mexican bar and grill is an inexpensive stop for after-work unwinding or for grabbing a bite before downtown entertainment. While the food isn't always as interesting as the decor, it partners up perfectly with the vast tequila collection, featuring nearly 100 brands served straight up, in flights, or as part of 30 or so oversize cocktails.
